This sacred site was one of the greatest Mayan centres of the Yucatán
peninsula. Throughout its nearly 1,000-year history, different peoples
have left their mark on the city. The Maya and Toltec vision of the
world and the universe is revealed in their stone monuments and artistic
works. The fusion of Mayan construction techniques with new elements
from central Mexico make Chichen-Itza one of the most important examples
of the Mayan-Toltec civilization in Yucatán. Several buildings have
survived, such as the Warriors’ Temple, El Castillo and the circular
observatory known as El Caracol.
